About

CampusRN launched a new scholarship program in conjunction with the creation of the CampusRN state edition network.

This nationwide scholarship program is the most comprehensive of its kind for nursing programs and nursing students because it features scholarship winners from six different regions across the country in which CampusRN has launched state edition sites.

Program Benefits

CampusRN will award six $2,500 scholarships to a needy and deserving nursing student in each region.

CampusRN provides students with access to a vast database of other scholarship and grants, a customized career center for their state and a national Web site to begin the career exploration process if students are interested in relocating after graduation.

Even if an applicant doesn’t win their state scholarship, CampusRN proves to be a valuable resource for all nursing students!
